AUTO RESTARTHOW IT WORKS

Charging phones, batteries and other USB-powered devices

from the Nomad 7 Plus is as easy as plugging in.

1. Make sure the junction box is plugged into the Rapid Charge

Cable. If you’re charging a Guide 10 Plus, you can plug it

directly into the Rapid Charge Cable.

2. Open your Nomad 7 Plus and face the panels toward the

sun and check the Solar Intensity Indicator for current solar

conditions. For optimal charging, aim for three or four lights.

3. Plug in your phone or recharger into the junction box and

charge up.

JUNCTION BOX + SOLAR INTENSITY INDICATOR

The brains of the Nomad 7 Plus live in the junction box. Several

key components work together to ensure you have the best solar

charging experience, including the Solar Intensity Indicator.

These 4 LED lights are indicative of current solar conditions and

give you an idea of how well your gear will charge.

Once you plug into the Nomad 7 Plus, the lights will blink in

accordance with how fast your gear is charging. Think you

should be seeing more lights? Try repositioning the Nomad 7

Plus toward the sun and watch how the lights and speed of

charge indicator change. The best charging scenario for phones

and other USB-powered devices is 3 or more lights.

KICKSTAND

The Nomad 7 Plus features a magnetic, detachable kickstand

allowing you to be as lightweight as you need. Leave it attached

and it pops out to an optimal angle for positioning toward the

sun. It also provides natural shade and a vented pocket for

devices you have plugged in.

The Nomad 7 Plus features an auto restart that’s smarter than

anything else on the market. With the ability to track power

flow history, the Nomad 7 Plus knows the difference between

a device that has reached a fully charged state and one that

disconnects due to environmental causes, i.e. lack of sunlight,

shadow, solar eclipse, etc. When the latter is detected, the

Nomad 7 Plus will automatically reconnect the charging device,

no extra work on your part is needed.

Q: Is the Nomad 7 Plus waterproof?

A: The best answer: it’s weatherproof. We’ve gone to great lengths

to ruggedize the Nomad 7 Plus; including beefing up the

manufacturing process with advanced lamination techniques

so it’ll slough off rain and snow. However, take care to keep the

Junction Box dry and if it does get wet, allow it to completely

dry before trying to charge.

Q: Does the Nomad 7 Plus have a built-in battery?

A: Nope. We made the Nomad 7 to be as modular and light-weight

as possible, that meant selling batteries as an optional

accessory. You can either plug your phone or device directly into

the Nomad 7 Plus, or pair it with one of our rechargers to store

power for later (like at night or when you go inside). May we

recommend a Goal Zero Switch, Flip, or Venture Recharger?

Q: Is this chainable with other Nomad panels?

A: Technically, yes; however, we don’t recommend it. You can plug

the Rapid Charge Cable into the chaining ports on version 2 of

the Nomad 7. That being said, the increase in output would be

incredibly minimal so you probably wouldn’t notice a significant

difference.

Q: How does the Solar Intensity Indicator work?

A: Science. We can’t give away all our secrets. But really, our

engineers developed patent-pending electronic brains for

the Nomad 7 Plus that ensures you have the best solar

charging experience possible. Part of the electronics include

an advanced current sensor (way better than a voltmeter)

and unique maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge

controller to optimize the USB output. What you need to know

is when conditions are right, you can plug a phone into the

Nomad 7 Plus and charge it directly from the sun. You’ll know

the conditions are right by checking out the Solar Intensity

Indicator.
